About Us.
The Story Behind the Show.
Discover how uRequest Live transforms events with interactive, tech-enabled live music where your guests run the show.
Our Origin Story: Born from the Frustration of "Same Old"
Back in 2017, award-winning event planner and entertainment producer Arthur Kerekes was tired of watching cookie-cutter bands recycle the same tired medleys. Guests were polite, but rarely engaged.
So Arthur asked: What if the audience could actually choose?
With no off-the-shelf solution available, he teamed up with developers and musicians to create a proprietary request platform built specifically for events. The very first show was a smash hit, and uRequest Live was born.
Since then, we have performed worldwide - from Toronto to New York, Hawaii to the Cayman Islands - bringing crowd-curated live music to corporate events, luxury weddings, and conferences.
